According to former Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on Canary Capital's Litecoin (LTC) spot ETF application and initiated a public solicitation process focusing on evaluating whether the ETF meets regulatory requirements to prevent fraud and manipulation. The deadline for comments is May 26 (May 27 Beijing time) and the deadline for defense is June 9 (June 10 Beijing time).
The extension is consistent with Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart's prediction yesterday that "there is a high probability that he will choose to postpone the final decision rather than directly approve or refuse."

Trump: It is recommended to impose a 50% tariff directly on the EU from June 1
According to Kim Shi, US President Trump said on social media that the main purpose of the establishment of the EU is to take advantage of the United States in trade, but the EU is difficult to deal with. Their strong trade barriers, value-added tax, absurd corporate penalties, non-monetary trade barriers, currency manipulation, unfair and unreasonable litigation against American companies, etc., have caused the U.S. trade deficit to exceed $25,000,000, which is completely unacceptable. Our discussion with them has made no progress. Therefore, I recommend a direct 50% tariff on the EU from 1 June 2025. If the product is made or produced in the United States, there is no tariff.
Affected by Trump's remarks, European stocks fell by an expanded margin, with the German DAX index, the French CAC40 index and the Spanish IBEX35 index falling by more than 1%, while the Italian FTSE MIB index fell by 2.00% during the day.
